a. leabove figures show that, to strike an aver
*e, i * h pAroperty owner ontributed nearly
i i~8 to Mr. Kedlogg'a tax.ga'herars. An aoccs
n .ea of one Lhousanut live, ouergetic, enterprising
'plp.t7 owuers would not only double, but
w weald in time quadruple the gresrty value of
*e partsh, while it would at tntt noe time re
dec. the indiitl nal tar to aboutt one-half the
leenant rate. Thle is the true way to reaaoe tax
e.ion, and the publiu are beginning to reoognize
!iI fact, as we shall show in due time.
There are but few parishes (if arwy) tiat offer
sner in uaementa to the intelligent, progres
working tufrmer. The coanlry is generally
a ltently undulating to afford good natural
drainage, but sme of toe creek bottoms need
itaekhiu. 'the soil is a light sandy loam, with
nsay subsoil, ,atily oubivated and produouve in
t kiods of -fld and gird.sprrps of the South.
The hills, as w, II as the l IIrrportn a of the bot
t sns, are w.ll ad pted to fruit growing. On the
,easeion of our first vtit here we cro'sed the
llfte lilver into Livingstou parish-a little be
.I' the cotbheastora corner of guat Felciuna-
where, on two dillffrent Mlanta ions there were
..SLL trees whih the owners assured us were
Sie..rt twenty-five years old, stll i bearinr. At an
" e er plaoe we examiuel some beaioful young
dIl~ res which had beenu rown from oediutng, by an
e · gentleman who had always taken ag eat in
t4Meet in ponology, and who, during the course
h. t ils long life, had proseoned many useful,
l e1 and interesting experiments to suoceescfl
nammination, and he informed us that the peach
rves better in the sandy lands of the Amlte
Sibttmm than any other looality whioh he ever
tiied. Many of ourri raders will no doubt disbe
··iee this statement, but a close examination of
ith young trees proved that they were eltuer
itltings or layers.
Of the steple orops, the upleads of East e.
1 >lana produce from a third to two-thirals of a
.bitle of lint, or say from 600 to 10001 poundseuf
~ed cotton (without fertlining), and from 0 to

atc old fogy routine of cotton, ootton, cotton,

In my last I promised that my next would em

are generally termed is this country) on fowls
arid turkeys, but what I deominate as "yaws,"
which it the ~dies, as well as in Ibis country,
carry off scores of valuable peultry-mostly in
ehilkenhood.
In the Indies I have sewn a paste made of beef
tallow and soot, applied twice a day felIt a cure
in some tastances. t( this easetr hulphnr sad

disease has pregresrsd so f.r as to render the
shock blind, it most eveutuilly die of starvation,
unless fed by hand, which is impracticable when
a large nnmber are efRoted, aend hence I have
up a several ooocasino resorted to clipping off
the protuberance with scissors, and sp lying the
flesh side of broon sk:n-the salt grease teding
to stop the flew of blood-and in a few hours I
have seen 'he chick eating heartily, and enroying
the change tr;m darkunes to light. By a conl
tinned applioation i f the baeda grease fr several
days, in tiue cases out of toe, a radical cure has
been effected, and the sight perfect. This I con
